Design Features

The obverse design is adapted from the famous Saint-Gaudens Gold Double Eagle. It depicts Lady Liberty holding a torch in her right hand and an olive branch in her left, enhanced with details from the original bronze casting.

The reverse features the original Type 1 design used from 1986 to 2021, illustrating an American Bald Eagle in flight carrying an olive branch back to its nest where a female eagle awaits with her young. The more recent Type 2 reverse, introduced in 2021, offers a close-up portrait of the American Bald Eagle designed by Jennie Norris.
